Chapter 367 Hunting Corps
Facing an enemy far beyond common sense, El thought he needed an army.

Certainly not troops in the conventional sense, the Istarenians were already the strongest fighters he could find in the country, but that meant nothing to his enemies.In the Battle of Sword Castle, almost all the silver-ranked powerhouses on Istaren's side were killed, and even the gold-ranked powerhouses suffered heavy casualties. It can be imagined that in the not-too-distant future, battle scenes of this level will be very May become a regular meal.

He needs an army that can stand against the will of the gods.

On the sixth day after the exiles left Sword Castle, El summoned his direct troops—that is, the soldiers who had followed him from Istaron.After the First Battle of Sword Castle, there are less than 300 soldiers left in this group, but they are still the mainstay of this army.

Al set down the altar on the high ground and lit a bonfire.Since Tiana's identity has quietly changed, he must now hold the sacrifice by himself.Fortunately, El's rune power has been enhanced, and he can indirectly intervene in the mysterious field through the two runes in the first cycle.

The strongest tequila found from the seized booty was poured into the bonfire in its entirety, and the flames immediately rose to a height of two or three meters.El threw away the wine bottle, his arms glowed with a faint blue light, and slowly opened in front of his chest.His warriors gathered around the altar, half kneeling quietly on the ground.

"I am El, a survivor of the plague and natural disaster, the last general of Istaron!" El watched the active magic factor above the altar, and shouted loudly to the sky.

"Spirit of the ancestors! I am calling out to you here! Human beings are about to suffer a terrible disaster. I will sacrifice here and pray for the strength to fight against the enemy!"

This kind of large-scale sacrifice is of course not the same as a small stove by one person. Language must be used as a guide to unify everyone's thinking and focus on the results of the sacrifice.

Tima stepped forward and threw a fist-sized spore creature into the flames, the last remaining remains of the Sons of Zendikar and the price she had to pay for acceptance into the ranks.

Ahmed stepped forward and threw the heads of the three great Lichs into the fire. This was his achievement after working tirelessly for the past few days.Those big corpse witches were still cursing endlessly after their heads were beheaded, but when they were burned by the fire of the altar, they immediately wailed miserably.

Pallanti stepped forward and threw two sharp fangs into the fire, the trophies of her battle with the Landwalker Legion in Istaron.She used these two fangs to grind a pair of small and exquisite daggers, but because it didn't match her fighting style, she never had the chance to use them.

Other warriors also stepped forward one after another, throwing the weird trophies they had saved into the fire. Surprisingly, even though those things had completely covered the burning firewood in the altar, the flame still showed no sign of weakening. .After the last person walked down, El and Tiana exchanged glances, and the girl nodded silently, so he slowly let go of his hands, and the magic power gathered on the altar suddenly burst out.

Amidst the flames soaring into the sky, a will full of ancient prehistoric aura emerged from the other end of the void, and the soldiers gathered around the altar suddenly felt suffocated and oppressed.

The image that emerged from the void was a giant in animal skin, holding a huge bone mallet, his tall back almost covered half of the sky's sunlight.

This time it wasn't the Feathered Serpent, which made El secretly relieved, but the existence in front of him was also unheard of.Without a doll encyclopedia like Lorana, no one knows who is coming.

Fortunately, the giant in the animal skin didn't care much about it. He squatted down, picked up the burning ashes in the altar with two fingers, put them in his mouth and tasted them carefully, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

The giant stood up and took out his own wine bag from his arms. The wine bag seemed to be the size of his palm, but in fact it was almost the size of a carriage.He put the wine bag to his mouth and shook it, only to find that his wine bag was empty, and a depressed expression appeared on his face.He turned the wine bag upside down and knocked it hard twice, pouring out a few drops of clear wine, but it fell to the ground.

A drop of fine wine from a giant, falling into the mortal world is a torrential rain.Everyone looked up at the giant's movements, but they didn't expect that there would be a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and the torrential rain would pour down, drenching everyone into a drenched chicken.When they looked up again, the image of the giant had disappeared, leaving only a burst of loud laughter in the sky like a successful prank.

What is the thing that was summoned this time?El wiped the rainwater off his face, and was cursing inwardly, when suddenly his heart moved, and he felt the imprint of that will from the rain.

"You got the fine wine from Dukan, the savage walker..."

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." a series of wolf-like howls sounded from all around, El quickly looked up, and saw many soldiers clenched their fists and shouted to the sky, their bodies swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye, growing to Approximately two meters or so, sharp-edged muscles grew out of the body, and body hair grew at the same time, and each of them almost turned into a rough chest-haired man.

The warriors of Eastalen who had experienced the sudden change of the Black Rain in Sword Castle already had a psychological shadow on it. Seeing the changes in their comrades, they almost subconsciously pulled out their weapons to relieve them.

"Kill you, uncle! I'm very clear-headed!" After a scream, the voices of abuse and rebuke began one after another.This state of confusion lasted for 5 minutes before everyone calmed down completely.

All the muscles in El's body tensed up, and he found that his physical strength had increased by [-]% out of thin air in the rain, basically equivalent to the improvement effect brought by the growth rune.In other words, this heavy rain is equivalent to stimulating the potential of all fighters on a large scale.

The ordinary fighters around him had received a [-]% increase in strength at worst.As for the mutant warriors, their strength had at least nearly doubled.There are quite a few fighters who only had the strength of the black iron level before the mutation, but after the mutation, they were directly promoted to the peak of the bronze rank!

"This is not a mutation, but a return to ancestors." Tiana whispered to El: "The living environment in the wild age was ten times worse than it is now. The physical fitness of humans at that time was completely different from that of humans today. This rain wash Eliminates the impurities in our body, and at the same time awakens the power hidden in our blood."

Although she did not participate in hosting this sacrifice, Tiana was also baptized by the heavy rain.Unlike El, whose blood origin is unknown, the benefits of being a descendant of ancient pure-blooded humans are far beyond her own imagination.When she stood in front of El, El could clearly feel the oppression emanating from her body.

That feeling reminded him of the moment when he first met Langaria, the princess of the earth. It was not just a difference in strength, but the trembling that occurred when the prey was locked by the hunter.

The coercion from the superior.

"By the way, who is the character we summoned this time? Have you ever heard of the name Dukan the Wild Walker?" El asked in a low voice.

"It should be a legendary hero in the wild era. I have never heard of this lord's deeds. Maybe there will be clues in Laurana's book collection. But this is not the most important issue now..." Tiana looked around because The ecstatic warrior who had suddenly gained great strength also lowered his voice and said to El: "Although the conditions for such a large-scale sacrifice are harsh after all, it is also an objective factor, but your behavior of making a small fuss about your direct troops will not harm other soldiers." Does it have a bad influence on people?"

"They are not my direct troops, but brothers and sisters who escaped from Istaron with me. They have personally experienced the test of purgatory on earth, and have left all the good things there... We are all Evil ghosts who have returned from hell, and other warriors, no matter how brave they are, still haven’t escaped the shackles of this world.” There was a trace of sentimentality on El’s face, but eventually turned into a firm expression.

"...But it doesn't matter, I will re-integrate this army, whether it is the Istarenian or the Night Watchman, I will knead them together and become my army in the true sense!"

"I can feel the dangerous aura emanating from you." Tiana looked into El's eyes and said softly: "Although there is no evidence, I still feel that you are going evil."

"To each other, my lord." El shrugged, walked away from the girl, got on his horse and came to the high ground, looking down at his warriors.

Sensing El's gaze, his warriors fell silent quickly.

"My brothers, you were once the mightiest warriors in the land, but now our honor is trampled upon!"

El deliberately spoke at full speed, allowing his warriors to catch every word.

"We once proudly declared that the people of Istaren will never fear war! But the reality is that our enemies are far beyond common sense, and we no longer know how to fight!"

El's eyes swept across the soldiers, seeing that everyone's eyes were full of anger and helplessness.

"Those high-ranking figures regard us as pawns that can be discarded at will. The destruction of Istaren and Sword Castle is nothing more than an insignificant symbol on the big chessboard to them. But we all know that we have Live life! We have the dignity of warriors! We have free will!"

"Those big men think they can manipulate our destiny, let them see if we dare to challenge our destiny! Today, I ask you to let go of your past status and honor, and let go of all the sundries that hinder us from fighting against fate. For our future, For the future of our loved ones, we will raise a new flag!"

"Today, in my name, establish here - the Hunting Corps!"
